Show me Your Maaco Paint jobs

[DocuDude]

I have the typical hood and roof clear-coat flake

I'm not going to spend several thousands on a new paint

Let me see what your Maaco-type paint jobs.

No, I don't want to see your rattle can or plasti-dip liner stuff.

Show me the $700 job.

In my opinion, don't do maaco. Waist of money, their products are too cheap. Go buy a harbor freight DA, a cheap paint gun, and do it yourself. All u do is sand smooth the paint u have on your rig, clean it when done sanding, mask, and shoot with some quality paint. If u just want to do the hood and roof just do that.

I came to the conclusion pretty quick that I was not going to do it myself (opportunity, knowledge, resources, patience, etc..) and I'd hate to put a bunch of money into a paint job on a vehicle that may or may not be mine at any moment depending on what breaks next. I figure I can do it again when/if needed until I decide I don't want to any longer.

That's the nicest looking Maaco job I've seen. Here is mine painted by maaco. I've since sold it...

I’ve seen two MAACO paint jobs. One looked really really good and the other looked like ass. It all comes down to prep. That’s the difference.

This confuses me, because some asses look pretty good...

Nailed it

I got a quote from Maaco to paint a Ford Ranger I wanted to sell. I painted it myself with decent results. I sold the truck and used the proceeds to fund the purchase of my 80. You can do this. Most of the time is in prep.

Nailing it twice, that's nice....

Redundant nail removed...

I did a total Maaco paint job and deflared, having them weld the holes and apply bedliner. Really happy with it!

 

[Ghostrider I]

I wonder if MAACO would actually accept a vehicle that has already been prepped.

Probably not would be my guess.

Well, that just sucks....I am sure myself and the rest of us could do a significantly better job then them.

The best Maaco jobs I've seen, were prepped beforehand. They will happily do it that way, it saves them time. They are great at spraying the paint.

That looks surprisingly good. What did they charge you?

Thanks! $2200 all in. Welding, prep, and metallic 3 stage.
